August 12, 2021 Troll 2, with Nick Olson
In episode sixteen of the Awesome Awful Podcast, presented by the Daily Drunk, host Josh Sippie welcomes Nick Olson. They discuss the quintessential terrible movie, Troll 2. Specific points of discussion include the fact that there are no trolls in this movie, the prevalence of green goo and the overwhelming willingness to eat it, pissing on hospitality, and where supplying your grandkids with molotov cocktails fits into your responsibilities as a grandparent. Also, in case you didn't know, Nilbog is Goblin spelled backward. You'll need this knowledge at some point in your life.

July 26, 2021 One Crazy Summer, with Kat Blair
In episode ten of the Awesome Awful Podcast, presented by the Daily Drunk, host Josh Sippie welcomes Kat Blair. They discuss the "fever dream" movie that might not have happened, One Crazy Summer. Specific points of discussion include the extensive explosives budget of the movie, the sheer confusion that you will feel when viewing, if watching it more than once will help explain things (it won't), John Cusack's immortality, and redemption found in the arms of a bazooka. If you're coming to this episode hoping to make sense of the movie, we make no promises, but we'll try our best. Hoops McCann.

July 25, 2021 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, with Shawn Berman
In episode nine of the Awesome Awful Podcast, presented by the Daily Drunk, host Josh Sippie welcomes back Daily Drunk Editor-in-Chief Shawn Berman. They discuss a truly horrible movie that not even nostalgia could resuscitate, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Specific points of discussion include why this movie should have taken a completely different route and gone all in on a roller derby, who would be in our ideal Power Rangers super squad (spoiler: The Rock made the cut), the curious case of the middle-aged Blue Ranger and his future at Power Rangers corporate, and the power of ooze. Shawn also apologizes twice for making Josh watch this movie, which is very kind of him.

July 22, 2021 The Number 23, with Justin Bryant
In episode eight of the Awesome Awful Podcast, presented by the Daily Drunk, host Josh Sippie welcomes Justin Bryant. They discuss the "aggressively stupid" noir thriller, The Number 23. Specific points of discussion include replacing "Chekhov's Gun" with "Carrey's Sax," how to be a terrible animal control worker and still keep your job, aliases that won't give away the fact that they are in fact aliases, and what to do when you start seeing the number 23 all over the place. Hint: Do nothing. This is perfectly normal.
